After weeks of running on adrenaline, now that I'm relaxing all the stress I ignored is taking its toll. I'm tired and headachy and generally feeling rundown, but at least I don't have to be anywhere or do anything and can go take a quick nap if I feel like it. It hasn't helped that the past few days have been horribly hot and humid which saps me quicker than running a 100-metre dash (not that I've done that in 25 years but you get the picture).
Today the weather was perfect though. The monsoon rains of the past two days have blown over and it was hot and dry and sunny and I had a gorgeous swim in the pool, although I'm pink and tender tonight. It's been so long since I've swum and I was enjoying it so much I stayed in even when I could feel my shoulders starting to feel the sun. I'm not crispy and it's not too painful, but I've lived in England too long. I've lost my tolerance and burn like an English Rose.
We're getting lots of reading and websurfing done and periodically play with the puppy. Geoff and Anne have a beautiful Cocker Spaniel puppy named Baxter who alternately amuses and infuriates.
Well it's 8pm and I'm wiped out - off to bed.
